For years, these three people had known everything and told me nothing, had kept their secrets and their money and their plans locked away where I could not reach them, and had counted on me being too small and too frightened and too kept to ever find out.

And now, at the end, the situation had precisely reversed.

I knew everything.

They knew nothing.
